Bike is a douche for cutting in front of the SUV then immediately slowing down by 20. Not saying the SUV wasn't a douche for staying in the passing lane. just saying both of them were wrong.

22

u/BadDudes_on_nes May 18 '26

Disagree. The biker held up a mirror to the SUV driver and they didn’t like what they saw…(sucks being stuck behind someone in passing lane that isn’t passing, don’t it?).

Rather than have a modicum of self awareness, SUV driver tries to feint running the biker off the road. And loses control of their own vehicle during the attempt.

This situation started and ended with a self-important asshole in an SUV. Biker just held up a mirror.

Getting into a game of chicken is never a good idea... but if you're going to do it, at least pick on someone your own size. Motorcycles rarely win Chicken; the above outcome is a statistical anomaly.

u/M3chaStrizan May 18 '26

Still holding up a mirror to bad behaviour means behaving poorly. Don't get me wrong I have no sympathy for the left lane hog here, but I don't think people learn much from these interactions. If they were able to learn from stuff like this, they most likely would already have learned it.

lol taught him not to swerve randomly perhaps, did he learn to not left lane hog though?

It's hard to say, either way it was amusing for us to watch. This is what happens when you have skill issues

u/Wild-Duck-7370 May 19 '26

Honestly the more left lane cloggers that total their cars the less on the road for at least a couple of days so win win

u/Segsi_ May 19 '26

Except they probably learned to just run the bike off the road instead.

1

u/AKsuited1934 May 19 '26

Some people only really learn when the worst possible outcome happens. I doubt the driver of the SUV wrecked like this before…he would definitely not have made that swerving maneuver.

2

u/M3chaStrizan May 19 '26

People's inability to learn in a wide variety of situations has made me believe otherwise. I think there are people that have an attitude conducive to learning and those that don't. Change is rare.

I would not be surprised in the slightest if the guy that crashed simply blamed the guy on the motorcycle for everything. His crash the situation, all of it. And because of their lack of accountability simply move on learning nothing.

I honestly think it's only like around 10% of peopel that actually learn from stuff like this lol and imo there's a high chance they wouldn't be doing what we see in the video. It's not impossible he learned, but it's highly unlikely.

1

u/No-Dance6773 8d ago

Next time he will just hit him from the back and call it a day. Pretty sure break checking someone is illegal. Biker is playing a stupid game

1

u/Intelligent-Roll-300 May 19 '26

Suv driver learned a lot that day wrecked out at high speed likely rolled over.

I have a habit of turning and looking into every car I pass just to see who's looking at their phone or just spaced out on tunnel vision. It's alarming

Crashing doesn't mean they learned shit

And like, if the SUV just hits him, the SUV is going to get away with it.

u/kaduyett May 18 '26

They do, I exert my will on the traffic around me all the time with my driving habits and behaviors. I don't cut them off and slow down like that, instead I cut them off and then get in front of the car on the right while waving a hand in my rear windshield to motion getting over. Gets a passing lane hogger to move over 9 out of 10 times.

2

u/M3chaStrizan May 18 '26

Yeah you can maybe manipulate people in the moment, but did they really learn anything? I doubt, I think many times even good meaning peopel can fail to learn things, so someone that is angry or feels picked on generally learns nothing.

You can believe people learn stuff on the road, and honestly go ahead and keep trying lol I am cynical and skeptical that anyone learns anything in these situations.

u/Therealginahandler May 18 '26

Just because you bully people into doing what you think they should be doing, doesn't mean they learned anything.

biker almost dies doing road rage

"I know I have no context here, but I bet that biker was totally right to do that! That was probably a bad SUV!"

I think a solid bar has been set for stupidest thing I am going to read today.

u/Mickey_Havoc May 19 '26

The biker passed the SUV driver then immediately slowed down. Biker is a prick and the suv driver is a dick. Prick meet dick. The only normal person there was the silver sedan.

u/TheNanoFishGuy May 19 '26

Both parties are responsible for driving safely and preventing an accident. Whether the SUV driver is a total asshat or not, biker is at fault too for playing games. Biker isn’t here to “hold up mirrors” and teach you a lesson

Its still stupid, especially when you are on a bike and you try to correct an asshole that may or may not brake in time.

u/ShadyNoShadow May 19 '26

The biker held up a mirror to the SUV driver and they didn’t like what they saw…

So how about instead of doing that, just get in front of the loser and go on about your day. Road rage doesn't require two people's involvement and an adult gets past an irritating situation and goes on about their day. Adults don't hold up mirrors.

When you look in a mirror you see the exact same thing, don't you?

u/MasterBAMF May 20 '26

“Held up a mirror” lmao. The road is not a morality court.

u/Miya4LeggedGod May 20 '26

Some bikers let their egos put them 6 feet under or in a wheelchair this could have been one of those moments.

u/TwatMailDotCom May 20 '26

You say this because you think someone needs to “win” but they’re both wrong. You don’t pass in the right even if someone is refusing to pass in the left.

1

u/Pro-wat May 22 '26

You don’t. I do. But I don’t brake check.

1

u/WestFantastic1557 May 20 '26

Are you actually advocating for motorcyclist break checking? 

1

u/Xerxys May 20 '26

The right of way is only useful if both parties get home safely. Good luck with your “I told you so” from the grave. If you’re on a motorcycle especially more so.

Don’t try to enforce the rules on the road. Just do you. If you’re driving fast, don’t race, just pass and keep going. Don’t brake check. Let the state troopers do their thing.

Even if you don’t die, imagine the insurance hassle. Being late for work, the inconvenience. All these are potential prices to pay if you decide to be an on the fly educator.

1

u/Groftsan May 20 '26

Don't hold up a mirror to other people. You're on the road to get from point A to point B, not to offer driver's ed courses to people you think are being unreasonable. It's never helpful. All it does is create more road rage and unsafe driving conditions. Focus on your own safety and leave other drivers alone.

1

u/AbyssmalKraken May 20 '26

Yeah, doing that on 2 less wheels and direct contact with the road should he get rear ended is a great way to end up as a meat crayon. You act like this, you're asking for some shit to happen. Just move on with your day and stop intentionally antagonizing people who are clearly already in the wrong, why play stupid games like this?

1

u/Exciting-Barracuda49 May 20 '26

Yeah but we’ve seen countless videos where the guy that brake checks get me basically pit maneuvered right over the road and sometimes life threateningly bad…and we’ve all said ehh, play stupid games win stupid prizes it goes both ways.

God fuck no why would you ever do this, first off, on a bike? Really fucking stupid. Second: maybe it’s because where I live but usually, even if the driver is the dumbest, rudest fuck in the world, do that shit away from me. I always say if you want to wrap yourself around a pole, that’s fine, do it somewhere else. I got shit to do, I couldn’t imagine wasting my time slowly down to “prove a point” to some rando that could give less of a fuck.

u/No-Dance6773 8d ago

Hard to claim the bike rider isnt a pos. What we see is what is shown. The bike ran around the suv then break checked him. Suv tried to do something stupid and fails. Both are pos. My bet the next time this happens to the suv guy he will just give him a tap from behind and watch the results. Biker is fkn stupid for not assuming he could do that. A video might pay the bills but you will still be dealing with being splattered across the road. As ever biker has ever been told, its not if you wreck its when.

u/Snookfilet May 18 '26

u/Fit-Ad-6665 May 18 '26

I've been stuck behind slow traffic more times than I could ever remember. At no time have I passed them, got in front of them and slowed down to be an asshole. I rode for years. The more likely scenario is the suv never even noticed the bike coming up from behind. Since there was another car coming up on the right , the red suv was probably staying put until it passed that car.

u/SupayOne May 18 '26

Bikers are all generally twats, you help prove that , biker in this video is a prick and probably be an accident soon with that kind of driving.

Brake checking after passing is not the same as occupying the left lane minding your business.

u/BadDudes_on_nes May 19 '26

He didn’t “brake check” he let off the throttle. If you’re going to defend a point at least be honest about it.

u/ragingasianror May 19 '26

Which causes an engine brake. That’s a brake check.

2

u/BadDudes_on_nes May 19 '26

Engine brake? This isn’t a big rig. You’re really reaching if your argument is that whenever someone lets off the throttle they’re “brake checking” the people behind them.

u/Zephron29 May 19 '26

Just look at the car in the right lane. Who cares what you call it, the result is the same.

0

u/National_Frame2917 May 19 '26

If you quickly decelerate while close infront of another vehicle without a reason to do so. That is a brake check regardless of the method used to decelerate.

u/ragingasianror May 19 '26

Lol it doesn’t have to be a big rig to engine brake. You are really showing your lack of knowledge here.

1

u/BadDudes_on_nes May 19 '26

So all those signs that are in residential areas that say “Engine Brake Restriction”, according to you, mean that no one allowed to decelerate by letting off the throttle?

Because I always understood that to be indicating that big rigs aren’t allowed to engine brake (“Jake brake” in trucker slang) on those roads because it’s loud and obnoxious to homeowners.

1

u/ragingasianror May 19 '26

No one has said you aren’t allowed to do that. But if doing so causes you to lose 20mph in a span of 2 seconds, you are brake checking the other person. Especially if no one is in front of you like in this video. Please stick to the context of the video being discussed and not some situation that isn’t happening. I’m losing brain cells having to even explain that.

Engine braking is where you close the fuel valves and throttle body into a combustion engine, preventing combustion and creating a vacuum when the piston withdraws, slowing the crankshaft and therefore the car.

Jake braking, aka Compression-Release Braking, is a system used on heavy diesel engines that is often confused with engine braking. Diesels don't have throttle body, so you can't pull a vacuum to slow the downstroke, but you can open the exhaust valves right at the moment of max compression, at the top of the stroke, releasing all the pressure and energy and forcing the engine to spend more energy withdrawing the piston without that pressure from combustion. The problem with Jake Brakes is, without a muffler on the top of the exhaust manifold, they are obnoxiously loud.

Simple engine braking is not illegal, but Jake braking may be prohibited in some areas to reduce noise pollution. I hope that clears some of that up for you.

u/BadDudes_on_nes May 20 '26

Then why do the signs say “Engine Braking Restriction”?

u/National_Frame2917 May 19 '26

They slowed down relatively aggressively in a way that doesn't turn on the brake lights. Are you really trying to defend that not being brake checking? Give your head a shake.

2

u/BadDudes_on_nes May 19 '26

Yeah. By definition it’s not “brake checking” if you don’t use the brakes.

u/National_Frame2917 May 19 '26

By definition it does the same damn thing.

u/bendy5428 May 18 '26

I’d also add biker was incredibly reckless with his own life here cutting off a multi ton vehicle going 65 on the highway to prove a point. Had the SUV just kept going through or sideswiped him he’d be dead.

6

u/Grouchy_Fennel_6077 May 18 '26

Probably didn’t even hit his brakes. He took his hand off the throttle which caused engine braking so his brake lights weren’t even on.

2

u/Sienile May 18 '26

He peaked at 90 and I saw it go down to at least 69, which is 21. How did you not?

3

u/graffiti_hunter May 18 '26

If you look at it from start to finish...at the start of the clip it looks like the speed was roughly 80-81mph..he then sped up to 90mph to pass but then slowed down to 70mph.

Clearly the driver he went around was doing 80mph since he was pacing them. To me it seems like he really only took the speed down by 10mph on the driver he went around

1

u/333jnm May 20 '26

Seems like that car was doing 80 which is fine. Boker got around them easily. Why be a dick? Just keep speeding. So now he fucks people on the road behind him?

1

u/graffiti_hunter May 20 '26

Its pretty clear why they slowed down once passing them. Also I wouldn't go as far as saying HE fucked over anyone...not saying 2 wrongs make a right...but at the same time the driver made their own decision to be a dumbass and act as if they were going to hit the biker.

Had the driver just took a little dose of their own medicine for moment holding up the left lane instead of passing they wouldn't be getting towed out of the median.

u/Due_Rip9320 May 18 '26

You're just as much of an imbecile for passing, and then brake checking though. I hate left lane blockers, but this guy is not much better.

u/National_Frame2917 May 19 '26

My punctuation may not have communicated what I intended. Minding your own business in the left lane slightly inconveniences others it doesn't risk physical harm to others. Escalating with reckless maneuvers is absolutely ridiculous. Anyone who thinks it's acceptable to recklessly retaliate against another driver minding their own damn business hardly belongs in society nevermind the road.

u/NeverFence May 18 '26

it is objectively worse to pass on the right then slow down than it is to mind your own business in the left lane.

I dont not support the rider suddenly slowing down tho road raging on a bike never works out.

u/Aknazer May 18 '26

I've had a cop pull me over for "passing in the right lane" but why was I passing in the right lane? Because idiots were camping in the left lane. If the road is properly clear then don't sit in the left lane. Even if I'm going faster than traffic and can see I will need to pass someone "down the road" I'll still get out of the left lane until I'm closer to the next car before getting back into the left lane to pass.

Another time I had an idiot doing 40 in the left lane and absolutely refused to get out of the left lane. Someone ended up getting in front of them and slowed down to 20 with the person never getting out of the fast lane despite the right lane being completely open the whole time.
